What are the ways or tools that are used to check for the originality of a writing piece or content?
You can go to the Turnitin web site and I think that you can use their software. I believe there are other similar websites, so a Google search will probably get you to one. In my university, we use software for class management that includes Turnitin assignments. The students thus have the option to look at their paper before it is formally submitted. I recommend that my students check their papers beforehand because it is a good learning step and they find out beforehand if there is trouble. I really don’t want them to be in the position of plagiarizing. It is a hassle for everybody and I want them to learn and succeed.
Plagium is a free site to use, but does request a donation if you like the service. When I entered a few paragraphs of text from the linked page, it returned 9 possible content matches. Five of those had copied the content 100%, although one of those was the original site. You can get a pretty good idea of how original or copied the content is. The program is completely free to use. There is not much detail around what you are looking at as far as analysis, but the program does provide a list of sites where duplicate content has been found.
